Oakridge is a post-war residential area in RG21, roughly 3 miles north of central Basingstoke. The housing is predominantly 1960s and 1970s council-built stock, a mix of semis, short terraces and low-rise flats, with some later infill. Drainage calls here tend to follow a familiar pattern: ageing clay and early plastic pipework, shared sewer runs that serve multiple properties, and blockages that have often been building quietly for months before someone picks up the phone.
You come in off the northern fringes of Basingstoke, through the estate roads that connect Oakridge to Kempshott and Brighton Hill. The housing density is fairly high for this part of town and the sewer infrastructure reflects that, lots of shared lateral drains running under back gardens and between plots. The pipework is mostly original 1960s clayware, and root ingress from the mature garden trees is a genuine and recurring issue here, not something you solve once and forget.
Most common Oakridge jobs
- Clearing blocked shared lateral drains serving two or three adjoining semis
- CCTV survey to locate root ingress in original clay pipework under rear gardens
- Unblocking kitchen and bathroom waste stacks in low-rise flats
- Patch lining cracked clay joints to stop root re-entry
- Tracing responsibility boundaries where a shared sewer run spans multiple properties

Oakridge FAQ
If the shared section serves more than one property and sits beyond your private curtilage, it's likely a public sewer that Thames Water are responsible for maintaining. That said, the lateral drain connecting your house to that shared run is still your problem. We can camera the whole system, show you exactly where the blockage or damage is, and tell you clearly which part belongs to whom before anyone spends money unnecessarily.
